Chapter 12: Punishnt {1}
Eastern Wing
At night, the weather instantly darkens, it gets cloudy and bits of lightning are in the dark skies, looking like it wants to rain. Once again after the bathhouse, I was dressed in my nightwear, heading for our chambers, I figured this is how it will be now.
My heart slamd loudly in my chest as I and Olivia walked the lobby, I was nervous, extrely nervous I would have to face Cedric tonight.
I stood in front of the door and turned to Olivia. She smiled.
"Good night my Lady, see you tomorrow," she said bowing as she left. I wanted to call her back but I shut my mouth, facing the door back. I stepped in, the door shutting behind .
My eyes drifted to where Cedric was, he was busy at the bookshelves near the chair set. His jacket off, I gulped hard as I took a deep breath and walked towards him, he didn’t acknowledge my presence and I didn’t care. The most important thing I had to do right now was to apologize.
"I’m sorry about last night," I began.
He opened a book and started reading, one hand in his pocket, his back facing , I sighed.
"I’m sorry for kissing you and-".
"And almost having your own way with " he cut
off, I gulped.
My mind drifted to the sensual kiss I gave when I was tipsy, I blushed. He turned to face
and shut the book, earning a loud noise, I jumped slightly at the sound.
His expression was blank.
"A-A-And for the v-vase," I said trying to explain while moving my hands and I saw it wasn’t helping, I just paused.
He smiled a ghost smile that didn’t reach his eyes, I shivered at it because it was ghoulish and dark. He stepped close but I moved back instinctively. But then it was like an invisible wall blocked
behind, I gasped as it pushed
towards him, my back against the shelves, he leaned to , our face inches apart, his green eyes held anger. I could tell it was because of the vase. I shouldn’t have done that, I didn’t know what I was dealing with, or more who I was dealing with.
"Yes, the vase" he finally said, his voice cold and distant.
I found myself trembling, and then I knew one thing then...
"And you will have to be punished for attacking your husband" he adds darkly.
...I was afraid of this man.
My heart slamd a loud beat at his words. Punished? My eyes were shaky as I stared into his cold eyes. He said he was going to punish , had I known I wouldn’t have thrown that vase at him, that was what got him angry, I was such a fool to think of sothing like that, you have really outdone yourself this ti SYLVIA.
"W-what are you going to do to ?" I asked shakily.
I knew the worst would happen, he had the upper hand, he could do all sorts of things to , whip
or at worst report
to Mother and then I will have to face her wrath for breaking the rules and attempting to hurt the man of the house.
Dear Lord! Unable to stare more at his icy eyes I looked away as I took harsh breaths. Papa, please help . That was my thought, I waited for his next action but rather he just pulled away from , moving back slightly, I turned at his action, my eyes landing on him.
He smirked as he flicked his fingers. I blinked at his action but then sothing levitated towards , it was stationed right in front of . It was a small box with amazing carvings.
"Take it," he ordered.
I shakily took it staring at him. He had a stern look now.
"Open it," he said again.
I did as I was told, I opened it and I gasped at what was inside, it was a dium-size yellow gem.
"A gem," I said, amazed at it. I have never seen one before, this could set you for life in my hotown.
I gasped as it levitated off my hand towards Cedric, it spun slowly above his palm without him touching it, I was amazed by his magic once again, he was the most powerful warlock after all, back in my hotown, I heard rumors that simple magics took deep concentration, not to talk more of harder magic, his I have seen so far ca easier to conjure.
"Silver-haired are special, that doesn’t an they are ant to only marry and bore next-generation warlocks’ ’ he stated.
"Are you saying I can do magic too?" I said as my face lit up at the thought of it.
"No it’s forbidden for won to do magic, it’s impossible" he stated clearly.
I froze.
"Your punishnt" he began as he sent the gem to , I took it.
"Is to reshape that gem to what you desire," he said firmly.
I blinked confused.
"That doesn’t sound like a punishnt," I said amused.
"And besides that’s doing magic, and as you said, won can’t do magic" I raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, it’s impossible, I’m counting on that," he said darkly.
I just shrugged cause I didn’t get his point, not knowing what I was getting myself into, I took a seat on the chair, dropped the box, and held the gem with my two hands.
He watches my actions. I sighed as I concentrated on the gem but it didn’t budge, I figured it didn’t work, it was a waste of ti.
Suddenly I shivered as I weakened a bit.
"I feel so cold," I said puzzled, my eyes drifting to Cedric in confusion.
"I cast a spell on it, there’s always a price anyti you fail," he said.
"But I will always fail because I can’t do magic so-" but then I froze in realization. He very well knew I couldn’t and yet he gave
the gem, which ans he was deliberately doing this.
"In exchange for your failure, a single fragnt of ice will pass through your skin" he adds.
I froze at his words.
